Best Answer

From his head. King's pen name for 6 novels was Richard Bachman, aka his 'Dark Half', also a novel by King. He's a lot of different people caught in one body, like we all are, only he knows how to decipher them MUCH better than the everyday human. His modus operandi is Emotions, and how to describe them in explicit detail, which makes him so popular. When Stephen sees a man walking down the street he doesn't think about who the man is, but what the man does and what he's capable of. He thinks on and on, which makes him write on.... and on....and on, which is also what makes his so popular.
